Governor Postpones April 14 Pasco County Municipal Elections

PASCO COUNTY, FL — Pasco County Supervisor of Elections Brian E. Corley announced that Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed an executive order to postpone the April 14 municipal elections in Dade City, San Antonio and Zephyrhills due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The municipal elections will be rescheduled at a later date.

City leaders unanimously agreed that delaying the elections was in the best public interest.

The April 2 request to DeSantis was made the same day the governor announced a stay-at-home order for the state of Florida.

"Although my office is responsible for conducting elections in Pasco County, only the state has the authority to postpone an election," said Corley. "The governor has now signed the order making it official to protect the health and safety of voters, poll workers and staff."

Due to the uncertainty of how the pandemic will affect the remainder of the election year, and in the interest of public safety, the elections office has been promoting voting by mail for several weeks.

Voters can request vote-by-mail ballots here or call 800-851-8754.
